What does the Bible say about King Uzziah's pride?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible highlights King Uzziah's pride as the root cause of his downfall in 2 Chronicles 26.

In 2 Chronicles 26, King Uzziah is described as becoming proud when he was strong, which led to his destruction. His heart was lifted up, making him transgress against God by entering the temple to burn incense, an act reserved for the priests. This pride caused him to forget his place in God's kingdom and led to severe consequences, including leprosy, which ultimately cut him off from his people. The narrative serves as a warning about the dangers of pride in our own lives, emphasizing that we must remain humble before God and recognize our dependence on Him for all things.
